Potential Harm You Are Causing Your Automatic Transmission That Could Lead To Transmission Repair Service

Your transmission is vital to your automobile and should be maintained according to your vehicles repair schedule. A transmission is what shifts the gears and gives the wheels power to move the vehicle by use of a torque converter. The inner workings of the gears are lubricated with transmission fluid to keep everything loose and working properly.

To properly care for your automatic transmission there may be some things that you are doing to cause issues that you may not even be aware of. At Jamie’s transmission, we can help you stay up on your service schedule of your vehicle to keep your transmission in tip top shape for the most affordable price.

Do not ignore warning signs such as hesitation when you step on the gas or shaking sensations, as these could be potential signs of transmission failure. Manual transmissions are different in terms of they use a clutch and gear shifting stick. Most times with a manual transmission the most popular problem is with the burnout, or riding the clutch, repair.

Automatic Overheating

If you frequently do not service your cooling system, you could potentially be putting your transmission in jeopardy. Every time you overheat the transmission, it loses longevity, and you could potentially be looking at losing both your transmission and your radiator.

Regular Transmission Repair Service and Maintenance

Sticking to your vehicles maintenance schedule is very important in extending the life of your transmission. During scheduled maintenance Jamie’s will look over the entire transmission system to rule out leaks, corrosion and problems so you can rest assured your transmission will last the life of your car.

Towing Over the Limit

If you have an automatic transmission and you are trying to pull or haul something over the manufacturer’s recommended weight, this could spell disaster for your transmission. Towing and hauling over weight could potentially overheat the transmission and cause clutches to slip and seals and bands to burst and let in added debris as it breaks down.

Not Coming to Complete Stop

When shifting your vehicle into park or drive or any gear from another, your vehicle should come to a complete stop. If you shift from gear to gear before completely stopping you are essentially striping the gears causing chips or damage and causing the clutches to slip. This will result in long term damage, and you will require transmission repair service.

Preventing the need for a transmission rebuild or transmission repair service, try to not overheat the transmission and make sure you come to a complete stop before shifting. The automatic transmission has come a long way from what they once were, and now they seem to be more reliable than manual transmissions. Regardless, all transmissions are vital to your vehicle so take good care of them.
